Building the Sustainable Web
The web has become one of the most influential systems shaping our lives. It connects billions of people every day, yet this convenience carries an impact we rarely see. The energy used to design, build, host, and use digital products affects both people and the planet, even though most of that impact is invisible, widely distributed, and easy to underestimate. Your website or application may only represent a small fraction of the total, but the scale of the web means that every improvement matters. And even if sustainability is not your first motivation, the same decisions that lower environmental impact usually improve performance, accessibility, user trust, and long term maintainability. Better for people, better for organisations, better for the planet. Building the Sustainable Web takes you through the entire digital stack and shows where impact happens, why it matters, and how to make meaningful progress. From infrastructure choices and backend architecture to frontend performance, UX design, content strategy, and marketing practices, this book gives you practical ways to make digital products lighter, faster, and more responsible.

Basics of Hospitality Information Technology
This book was written not a technical manual for IT specialists, but a management book for hospitality students, future executives, General Managers, asset managers, consultants and professionals who need to understand how technology affects hotel operations, guest experience, cybersecurity, compliance, financial decisions and strategic leadership. Hospitality has always been a human industry, and it will always remain so. However, the systems that support hospitality have become increasingly digital. A hotel manager does not need to become an engineer, but must understand the business consequences of technology decisions. Poor WiFi, a PMS failure, weak cybersecurity, uncontrolled data, badly evaluated AI or poorly governed IT investments are not only technical problems. They are service, revenue, trust and leadership issues. The ambition of this book is simple: to make hospitality technology understandable, practical and executive-oriented. The reader should be able to speak more confidently with IT teams, vendors, owners, asset managers and operational leaders. More importantly, the reader should understand that technology only has value when it serves hospitality. This book is written for students preparing to enter the industry, but also for professionals who wish to strengthen their understanding of hotel technology from a managerial perspective. It is a bridge between the classroom, the hotel floor and the executive meeting room.
